Uberti

In 1959, Aldo Uberti began making replicas of Civil War-era cap and ball
revolvers. He founded A. Uberti S.R.L. in the village of Gardone Val
Trompia in the Italian Alps. Over the years, as his craftsmen gained
experience, the company increased production by including more and more
of the Old West firearms.The thrill and romance of shooting Old West
firearms might not be possible today if it were not for gun maker Aldo
Uberti. Most of the original 6-shooters, lever-action rifles and buffalo
guns, worth many thousands of dollars today, are either locked up in
private collections or on display in museums. This makes them
unobtainable or impractical for shooting. Uberti firearms are exacting
replicas, down to the finest detail. Many are improvements over the
originals, with the advancement of materials and the use of modern
machinery.Today, A. Uberti produces black powder revolvers, cartridge
revolvers and cartridge rifles. The firearms set the standard by which
Cowboy Action Shooting competitors and big game hunters judge other
vintage firearms.
